Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Release Time
Red Dead Redemption 2 is launching on PC on November 5th. Since that’s pretty close, a lot of people are wondering about the exact launch times. Rockstar has been characteristically silent about the whole matter, so there’s a whole lot of speculation everywhere you look. We’re going to try to clear things up a bit in this article, and help you figure out the exact RDR2 PC launch time.

There’s no official word from Rockstar, not on their social media or any of their many websites. However, there are two sources that have some hard data we can use. The first is Game Debate, which claims Rockstar got back to them when they asked the developer/publisher about the release time. According to them, it’s going to go live at 5AM PT/ 8AM ET / 1PM GMT. This means everyone will be getting it at the same time. The fact that it’s already the 5th in New Zealand and the game isn’t live there yet goes to support this claim, or at least the part where everyone gets it at the same time.
Another source we’ve seen is the Epic Games Store. If you hover your mouse over the release date, then right click and select the option to inspect the element, you’ll see the date comes with a time attached, and that time is 14:00. Since there’s no mention of a time zone, and it is using the 24-hour format, we’re going to presume this means UTC. Assuming it’s a global release, that would put it an hour later than the other prediction.
It’s in the same ballpark, though. What’s important is that there’s definitely no rolling launch, and we’ll all get it at the same time tomorrow – early morning for the US, early afternoon for Europe, and late in the night for Australia and east Asia.
If you end up getting stuck at another point, you might want to check out some of the other guides we have. We've written about mysteries like the missing person Gavin, the Rhodes Gunsmith prisoner, the locked door at Valentine doctor. We also have instructional guides that show how to rob stores without getting bounty or where to sell jewelry and gold bars. If it's collectibles or key items you're after, we've found all the Penny Dreadful comic books, Chick's treasure map location, or that famous pipe for Dutch. Finally, if you don't care to explore the map yourself, you could take a look at our Watson's Cabin and Catfish Jackson's Homestead locations guides. In the latest Red Dead Online Moonshiners Update you'll have a chance to find Navy Revolver and Best Shack Locations.
